My takes on the game:-
We are much better when Bentancur plays; He moves the ball quickly and provides creativity and control.
Son seems to give himself half a yard with the ball at his feet but then is reluctant to shoot?
Great to see Brennan cut inside effortlessly several times but it...
He was our right back when I started supporting the team in 1967. I recall he was mentioned in Hunter Davies's, The Glory Game as one of the few batchelors in the side and Gilly's drinking partner ?
I hope he gets his mojo back as he does look short on confidence. In the last two games when on as sub, he has been through on the left with the defence stretched and forward options supporting him and has completely messed up his pass.
I thought the side played well without creating enough. The Hammers front 3 were a handful

I think we played well today without being able to create too many clear cut chances. Great to see Bentancur back and I felt he played well. I also felt Maddison was constantly probing and given we needed to score, I was disappointed he was taken off. I thought the West Ham front three were a...
I think we would be mad to sell Bentancur. When at the top of his game he is genuinely world class and very influential. If you look back to his World Cup performances he was excellent. I think given game time he will get up to speed again where he finds those quick forward passes. I'm unsure...
Richarlison goals were terrific but on overall performance I'd give it to VdV who didn't put a foot wrong.

We need more from our wingers. I like the possession that Gil provides...
I didn't feel we were really on our game today barring the 1st 10 minutes.
With the wingers wide and Maddison playing quite high our midfield was unable to gain control.
Very disappointing result for us having been so close but a draw probably fair on Everton's performance
Absolutely agree that the barge on Johnson was a free kick. Where the ref didn't give it and they counter attacked, had they scored would VAR ha gone back to that incident and overturned the goal and decision?

Both halves we started slow and then got into the game. Shame to lose to a preventable goal. Missed the quality of the players we have in the international tournaments and the return to full fitness of Madders and Bentancur. I thought our defence was outstanding
